an aulwan complained about me to Joe Duffy a few years ago.
it was sheer coincidence I heard it.
I very seldomly turn the radio on when I'm boiling the kettle but this day I did.
she mentioned the time and the area and it was definitely me.
she was in the back with the aufla and the grown up son was in the front.
it was a stone cold 50/50 route.
she started rabbitting on about how I was going the long way.
I'm coming home from here since the big bang etc. and I've never come this route. ye don't know where you're going etc.
I was waiting and waiting for the aufla to tell her to shut the fuck up but he never did.
I had traversed about 60% of the route and I gave in to her sniping and i did a u-turn and came all the way back in the opposite direction to where I picked them up and went the direction she wanted.
I was like a fucking demon. the aulwan kept at me and the insults started up.
where are you taking us now. this unbelievable etc.
don't worry you'll be home in time to make the fuckin dinner I think I said to her.
I started slaggin fuck outta the aufla for not markin the aulwan's card but he still said nothing.
it was only when he was getting out I realised he was riddled with full blown alzheimers or something.
made an awful bollocks of myself.
that was the last time I ever overruled anybody and did'nt go the route they wanted.
the customer is always right, especially when they're wrong.
-
If in any doubt and it's a 50/50 route, I'll always ask the customer fer their preferred route whilst offering my own suggestion at the beginning of the journey, it can save a lorra hassel at the end.
And if you do happen to make a bollix of yourself and go the wrong way, then just knock a few Euro off and usually they are pleased with that. Never ever ask; "How much do you usually pay ?" if you have taken a wrong route, because they will always come out with some ludicrous low quote.
-
I always ask if there is any particular way you would like me to go.even then some of them give you the 3 rd degree if you meet traffic
-
I would take the Peamount rout as it gives you more options to avoid traffic if you hit traffic on the Nass road you options are fewer .I think going to the Airport you have to consider the FASTEST rout as the plane wont wait and that might not necessarily be the shortest .
-
You're out there competing against Google maps.Especially on app work it's very likely the passenger is double-checking your route against their phones.You might think their texting but often they have maps open.Remember these people think Google maps is always right because that's all they know.

Similar situation myself a few weeks back, picked up in the k club to airport at 7.30am so i opted for the naas rd rather than battle the traffic around celbridge, the usually shite the other driver didn't bring us this way blah blah blah... Luckily enough the nass rd and m50 were moving quite well for that time of the morning so when i got to the airport the lady started to complain as to why i was €12 cheaper than the taxi that brought her there, you just can win with some cunts

Yeah had the same myself got a job from Barrow street to Galway(400 cash) then on the way back home got flagged down just outside of Galway city..going to Dublin Airport.When we got to the Airport there was 462.50 on the meter and yer man says that's very expensive you must have brought me the long way so I just said give us 450 and I fukked off home early and had a steak dinner.
Has anyone else on here gotten any decent jobs lately...Cunts.

Do you have a Galway licence?
would ye not use the taxi fare estimator to prove to them you are not ripping them off?
-
No it didn't happen ,I was just illustrating how quickly these threads turn into a pissing contest.Taxi drivers are spoofing bastards.

Google Maps will show you all the options and the difference in time taking current traffic into account.
